Dear Alchemist’s Cache, <3 you. Always, Sinny

The door opens and closes in the small room next to me, the dividing window slides to the left. I start..

Forgive me father, it has been one week and one day since my last Achievement. The holidays, they tore me away from the game and prevented me from working on any reputation grind, searching for random books, and stealing money from corpses. I shall do better, I promise!

Hmm my penance… I guess it should be to finish that freaking Argent Crusade rep grind before I start really crazy into the Loremaster stage of my life.

We had another amazing night of raiding on Wednesday, with our 10 man group. We smooshed Freya pretty easily and got another huge Alchemist’s Cache. I really love those! We got a stupid amount of Flask of Pure Mojo, which I find to be kind of useless. In fact, none of the healers in either the 10 or 25 man have mana issues so no one wanted the flasks. I have them all on the Auction House so that I can buy real flasks that our tank and dps need. After downing Freya, we backtracked and took out the bosses that we had skipped on the way in resulting in us clearing every single boss we had ever killed in one single night, going over our regular ending time by 15 minutes. Amazing. Flame Leviathan, XT-002, Kologarn, Freya, Iron Council, Ignis, Razorscale.

Best place for Runecloth drops…

I ran a friend, another 80, through Strat (undead) the other night, too. He’d never been there (a fact which blows me away) and he needed runecloth to level tailoring. So, we get out there and he says “should I just go resto (shammy) and heal you then?” when I switched to my boomkin spec. LoL. “We won’t need healing, enjoy dpsing” I say. We cleared that place in something like 12 minutes. Seems slow, but mainly because we were looting stuff for Runecloth and he was DE’ing the boss drops (he was also leveling his enchanting). I remember when Strat would kick our butts. It was always such a chore to get through that place – crypt crawlers and their nets, those damn banshees that silence… ughh those boxes that you get too close on and they are full of rats or something. But it was such fun, having a challenging huge instance with lots of bosses and the creepy streets of Stratholme were always hiding some horrible being. I was hoping we’d have some beginner luck and maybe see the mount, but no such luck.
